Thanks for the additional example, Willem!
Yes, I now see what you mean - could be the top of the head with pretty much only the upper jaw being visible from above, indeed. Will be interesting to get some more shots from different angles once Nik has a chance. Regards, Kai |

Mandau (and related) hilts are really 3-dimensional works of art that one needs to hold in hand to fully appreciate!

I think Asomotif's opinion is right. The little heads look like the one on his mandau's hilt.
Here are another two marginally clearer pics. I'm hopeless with taking pics. |
